Not bad, but there is something to strive for.
Thanks!
What a fantastic game given the development time, had Resident Evil vibes all throughout.
Appreciate it!
Really unique visual novel experience, enjoyed it a lot. The artwork is awesome and the story is well directed. Great job overall. Would recommend, 10/10.
Thank you for the kind words!
Very good looking game with great atmosphere. The music really helped tie the whole picture together, as well.
I think the message of the game is very interesting. Not quite Eldritch horror, but an exploration of nihilism as a philosophy, almost.
Great job! Not totally certain on the connection to the theme, though.
I was thinking about the connection between life and death, mostly. Also we're connecting the bodies to the machines to bring then to life.
Great story and wonderful art! Was quite pleased with this one.
Thanks!
Cool pixel art and lightwork!
Thank you!
The story was amazing. My only gripe is that there wasn't much need for this to be a game instead of an animation. To be fair, I've never really played many visual novel games before, but I essentially enjoyed this for its story, not for the ability to walk around the rooms and inspect things. I'm also not crazy about the times when the camera zooms in on the pixel art, which just makes it look too coarse and blocky. Conceptually, pixel art is sized and designed to achieve a certain style at particular range/resolution, so when zooming, it makes sense to use different pixel art to capture more detail. However, I was emotionally invested from beginning to end, so congrats on making an awesome jam submission.
Thank you for your review!
The pixel art is so professional it looks amazing. Amazing work with the story - lots of dialogue it must have taken ages to put together! Such an interesting topic too - the afterlife. Congrats!
Thank you!
Very impressed with the polish. The camera movements, story-telling, everything has a smoothness to it.
Thanks a lot!
Really amazing art direction and writing, great work!
Thank you!
Woah, this game had me so invested that I didn't even realize it was a jam game! The artwork is stunning, the audio, and storytelling blends together so nicely. I really enjoy ideas about the afterlife, and this horror experience made my night. Awesome work on the game!
Thank you for the kind words!
